They were originally mostly or all at the beginning, as in several minutes of credits before the movie started. There were occasional exceptions where they had fewer or just a title screen prior to the 70s, but the vast majority had several minutes of credits before the movie started.

Star Wars kicked off popularity of pushing the credits to the end of the movie. Again, not the first, but the start of the popularity. Pretty sure Lucas received a fine for doing it as well.

Since then most movies tend to have a few credits at the beginning and the majority at the end. In my opinion this was inevitable. Star Wars had two good reasons to move them back from my perspective, it let the story start right away, and listing everyone involved with the special effects would have taken forever. The light credits, especially those overlaying the opening scenes is a lot better than the wall of text that was displayed before movies even started prior to the late 70s.

If indie devs can make a game and sell it for less than Nintendo games sold for in the 90s then maybe it isn’t actually more expensive to develop and distribute games that are somewhat comparable to games from the 80s. A lot of games sell for $40 or less and are making profits.

Nintendo games are more expensive partially because they are limited to Nintendo hardware. Like Apple, this requires more costs for software because their target audience is smaller than something through a digital platform like steam, and distribution is a pretty significant cost and physical distribution has a lot of risk and waste compared to digital if something doesn’t sell as many as expected.

Yeah, it really does match the incoherent conversations and relationships that a lot of people have in a way that most scripted movies don’t.

It doesn’t make for a good movie, but when I did watch it the characters reminded me of people I knew.

Fiduciary responsibility, companies have a legal obligation to not only protect but grow their investor’s money.

No they do not. The investors can toss out the leadership if they aren’t performing as desired though which is the real driver.

Oooohhhhh, that makes sense.

informed dedication opinions.

Hmmmmm

If you sailed by riding the figurehead, sure.

Autocorrect and I are enemies.

You can tell by the way she is.

Just due to texture alone, shrimp and other crustacean shells are a hard pass for me.

That isn’t Selma.

Ewww, no. The programmer should have run their unit tests, maybe even told you about them. You should be testing for edge cases not covered by the unit tests at a minimum and replicating the unit tests if they don’t appear to be very thorough.

Also, no schools or utilities will be accessible from your rock. Have fun growing food on your rock.

Paying taxes is different than paying to own. It is one way that money is collected to pay for common needs like roads, parks, and schools and is more consistent than income or other taxation because we know how much land exists.

I guess a dollar amount could just be expected from every single person regardless of circumstance. Would that be better?

Needing to pay for gas doesn’t mean you don’t own your car.

The government taking things away under certain circumstances doesn’t mean you don’t own the things.

Design requirements are what it should do, not how it does it.

What, like some kind of design requirements?

Heresy!

Do streamers call themselves influencers?

So they spent advertising money on freelance shills. Ok, that is just another form of advertising like paying an advertising company to do advertising.
